To finish fourth favorite village of the French, it helps.AUVILLAR, a city populated by a thousand inhabitants, took advantage of the influence brought by the French program 3 to continue its good tourist activity.In July according to the tourist office, 4,322 tourists came to discover the charms of the village.Figures "significantly equal to those of 2018", proof of a found attractiveness.If some Belgians have come down, we will especially note a strong presence of Toulouse, Nantes and Bordeaux.Thank you Stéphane Bern!

Conversely, Bruniquel feels a less strong presence of tourists on his soil, just like Lauzerte according to their respective tourism offices.They notably highlight a drop in the number of travelers from abroad, which is not offset by the increase in the number of so -called "local" tourists from departments and from the neighboring region.As for the leisure base of the 3 lakes in Monclar-de-Quercy, there is "little chance that the base reached 64,000 admissions like last year" according to management.In question: the very capricious weather in July.In Saint-Antonin, the feeling is slightly different.If foreign tourists are back in greater numbers according to the tourist office, restaurateurs and other traders "find that business does not work as well as last year".Perhaps because the aspirations of tourists have changed with the epidemic.

Isolation and nature

Each tourist office and professionals in the trade have confirmed it: Post-Cavid travelers want to recharge their batteries, oxygenate, and to reconnect with nature. "Activities such as canoeing, hikes in the Aveyron gorges, rivers swimming, bicycle walks are more and more privileged", for example, indicates the Saint-Antonin tourist office. This desire to find a certain isolation to recharge your batteries is also seen with the explosion of gîtes reservations. "We are assaulted of new customers, explains Valérie Duchattelle the director of reservations of the Gites de France in the 82, it is an unsuitable clientele who comes to book. If the summer of 2020 we had not suffered from COVVID, what to say of this one where requests have exploded ". What the Auvillar tourist office also feels: "It is a clientele with a different thought, which expresses a real desire to return to nature. The lodges are much more requested than before, whether by families or even young people who want to land. " Luckily, Tarn-et-Garonne is a "campaign destination" as the tourist development agency of 82 says. If in the short term, COVVID still seems to block tourism activity, which knows if this episode is not mark a turning point in the way of traveling. A turning point in which Tarn-et-Garonne, with its luxuriant nature, could come out victorious.
